  4. Sew pieces together for large square or rectangle.
  5. Flatten out and sprinkle on entire surface salt, pepper, allspice, onion, parsley, and saltpeter.
  6. Also be sure to cut off all the meat from the bones and spread scraps over the surface.
  7. Roll very tightly and hold with a meat fork while sewing ends and sides.
  8. Tie around as you would a rolled roast and place in the brine, which should be chilled thoroughly.
